Our team is getting along really well. So far its been really nice living in a real house, with a kitchen and couches and everything! We've spent some time getting to know our area and seeing some of the city. It's a lot bigger than Jeffrey's Bay, which is exciting!

On Sunday we attended our host church: Lighthouse Family Church, for the first time. The church has really opened its arms to make us feel welcome. There is a large population of youth and young adults that we will be getting to know during our time here.

This week and next week we will spend a lot of time going around to different ministries sites around PE. This semester we will get to spend more time doing actual ministry, and I am starting to get really excited! We've only been to two ministry sites so far, but both of them seem really great. I love getting to see the vision of passionate people who want to make a difference. It gives me hope!

Anyway, I can't wait to really dig into relationships here. My heart is already getting attached to this place, and I know at the end of this 4 months I will feel like I am just getting started.

I am incredibly thankful for the chance to be here, and the ways God is already moving in this place and in my heart!
